” … This cartoon is about Ritalin and Adderall, the two most popular amphetamine stimulant drugs used to “treat” ADHD in children. It attempts to demonstrate the double standard in American’s drug policy towards children by showing how corporate-sponsored drugs are openly and widely prescribed to children as medicine, while home-made drugs are classified as dangerous substances that will land you in prison (even if two drugs are chemically identical!)…

… I believe it is time we abolished the industry of psychiatry and its disastrous “treatment” of children with dangerous, mind-altering chemicals. If we continue to allow these profit-minded psych doctors to drug an entire generation with amphetamines, the long-term consequences to society will no doubt be devastating. Children do not need mind-altering drugs to demonstrate normal, balanced behavior. They simply need honest nutrition, responsible parenting and to be kept away from refined sugars, petrochemical food additives and processed foods.”

My wife and I are working to get rid of sugars in our diet… Been a process, but we drink much more water, less colas and sweets… It’s having a good effect on our health and overall sense of well-being.Shawn
